"有些人谈论别人的失败时如此愉快,你会以为他们在谈论自己的成功。"

Simplified Meaning:

When some people discuss the mistakes or failures of others, they often seem very happy and excited, as if they're talking about something great that happened to them instead. It’s almost like they feel better about themselves when they hear about someone else doing poorly. Imagine a student in school who didn't do well on a test. Instead of feeling bad for that student or offering help, another student might laugh or gossip about it, acting like it’s a big victory for them. People sometimes do this because it makes them feel superior or hides their own insecurities. It’s an unkind behavior that doesn't help anyone improve or grow. To apply this advice in life, try to be more supportive and understanding when others fail. Instead of taking joy in their mistakes, offer a helping hand or some encouraging words. This will build better relationships and create a more positive environment for everyone.
